German-born Jörn Schröder and his partner Kat Robertson purchased a run-down Bed-Stuy townhouse in 2003 for just $287K and set about renovating it according to the principles of "Bau-Biologie," a sort of Euro feng shui aimed at improving the health of inhabitants. Now, thanks to that gut job and solar panels on the roof, the brownstone is listed for $950K. [WSJ]
